T10T: Halloween Reads! ?

This is a weekly tag hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and this week’s challenge is a Halloween freebie! I opted to name ten of my favorite books that I deem Actually At Least a Little Bit Creepy for you guys. Click the covers for each book’s goodreads link! 1. I’ve read many of Koontz’s titles, and while they’re usually enjoyable, they rarely spook me. Phantoms, however, came from an era in which Dean hadn’t yet renounced the title of “horror...

T10T: Books With Yummy Foods (Cookbooks!)

This is a weekly tag hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and this week’s challenge is to pick ten books with yummy foods – whether it’s a fictional story in which the characters have lots of tasty treats, or a cookbook that you love pulling recipes from! I’ll be honest, I don’t have 10 cookbooks to share with you guys today, but I do have a few beloved ones that I thought I’d link you to! I’m using a new...

T10T: Ten Books With Autumn Vibes

This is a weekly tag hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and this week’s challenge is to pick ten books that remind you of autumn – either with their covers, their themes, their content, or all of the above! I had a hard time narrowing it down when I was considering books on my TBR, as well, so I finally narrowed it down to titles I’ve actually read. I’m using a new formatting for my list posts: you can now...

T10T: Bookish Boyfriends/Girlfriends

This is a weekly tag hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and this week’s challenge is to pick ten book boyfriends or girlfriends! Since I’m bisexual, I decided to include bookish boyfriends AND girlfriends! I originally was going to pick my top 5 girlfriends and top 5 boyfriends, but then I realized: 1) that’s a little gender binary-focused, eh?, and 2) I really want to pick 10 characters I can show you guys some awesome fanart or film casting of!...

T10T: Ten Books With LGBTQ+ Characters

This is a weekly tag hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and this week’s challenge is to pick ten books with _____ characters – you fill in the blank! For this week’s prompt, I decided to focus on LGBTQ+ characters. If you follow my blog regularly, you know that, every Thursday, I do a Diversity Spotlight where I feature 3 diverse reads. I’ve been doing that for a couple of months now, and it’s been a fun meme, but I...

T10T: Fall TBR

This is a weekly tag hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and this week’s challenge is to pick ten books from your upcoming fall TBR! I’m obsessed with making lists, so I make my TBR lists ridiculously early. I’m already working on December’s list. They’re flexible, don’t get me wrong, but it happens. Anyways, the reason I’m telling you guys this is to say that I’m going to divvy this up by month! I’ll list my most exciting planned reads...

T10T: Ten Decade-Old YA TBR Picks

This is a weekly tag hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and this week’s challenge is a throwback freebie! I decided to pick ten YA books off of my TBR that were published at least 10 years ago. I’ve ordered them from oldest to newest! 1. Remember Me – Christopher Pike Published: 1989 I’m not sure how I came to possess this book, but I figure I should read it eventually, especially given the fact that I remember enjoying Pike’s writing...

T10T: Ten Books I Almost DNFed, But Didn’t

This is a weekly tag hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and this week’s challenge is to pick ten titles you struggled to get through! I originally was just going to focus on ten books that I DNFed, but then I decided, why not go for ten books I almost DNFed, and then summarize my final thoughts on them, for better or worse? As always, I’ll link to each book’s Goodreads page in the titles, and I’ll add links to my reviews...

T10T: Hidden Gems in YA

This is a weekly tag hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and this week’s challenge is Ten Hidden Gem Books in X Genre! I decided to go with a few under-hyped YA titles for this post. If you see some titles that you don’t think are under-hyped, keep in mind that I’m not basing this off of sales so much as I am basing it off of how often I actually hear other readers and reviewers discussing and recommending these...
